Chapter 87: Seven People
Zhang Yang did not whisper. He unleashed his divine power, producing a thunderous explosion through his throat that echoed throughout the Liu family’s residence, creating quite a stir.
In an instant, Lou Pingfan rushed to the scene.
He had always kept an eye on Zhang Yang, trying to prevent the troublemaker from causing chaos—otherwise, Zhang Yang could clean out their belongings for free with just under ten million.
Upon arriving and seeing Tie Gu’s body lying on the ground, along with the Iron Guards drawing their swords and pointing them at Zhang Yang, Lou Pingfan knew trouble was brewing.
If it had been any other time, he might not have felt so alarmed.
But ever since realizing that this seemingly harmless man was actually a major troublemaker, Lou Pingfan approached Zhang Yang’s every action with great caution.
“Enough! Are you planning to rebel?” Lou Pingfan shouted at the Iron Guards, trying to calm the angry troublemaker first.
One of the Iron Guards retorted, “It was him who killed our big brother for no reason!”
Zhang Yang watched coldly.
Lou Pingfan barked, “How dare you falsely accuse the master! Put away your weapons immediately!”
The Iron Guards, still emotional, continued to point their swords at Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang said nothing, simply continuing to observe.
At that moment, Liu Feijue arrived.
He had been very close to fully mastering the Golden Dragon Shield and did not want to get involved in any matters. He was already dreaming of transforming the Golden Dragon Shield into a holy weapon, thereby establishing an unshakable position.
Who would have thought that Zhang Yang would address him directly?
Liu Feijue, who appeared polite on the surface, was arrogant to the core and carried a strong sense of superiority. He felt frustrated, but he also understood that he needed Zhang Yang to break through more Underworld Spirit Forbidden Laws.
Upon arriving, he coldly asked, “How did Tie Gu die?”
Zhang Yang stared back at him and said, “Young Master Liu, I always thought you truly treated talented individuals with courtesy. I never expected it to be fake. You don’t take me seriously at all. You placed this bunch of trash around me and called it protection. How can they protect me when they dare to speak vile words to my woman and even draw their swords against me? Heh, I really want to ask this so-called Gold Medallion Appraiser what use he is.”
One of the Iron Guards stepped forward and bowed, ready to explain.
Liu Feijue’s expression turned cold. He wanted nothing more than to slap Zhang Yang across the face. This situation clearly tarnished his reputation, but what angered him even more was the potential fallout.
If this incident spread, outsiders would form their own opinions about him.
Even if Zhang Yang was deliberately causing trouble, it would still reflect poorly on him.
Disrespecting those of higher rank was the ultimate taboo, and for someone of Liu Feijue’s status, it was even more detestable.
Thus, Liu Feijue swiftly waved his hand and coldly ordered, “Kill them all!”
The Iron Guards were filled with fear.
In the next moment, Liu Feijue’s personal guards sprang into action.
In the blink of an eye, all thirty-six Iron Guards were slaughtered, their bodies scattered across the courtyard.
“Is this satisfactory?” Liu Feijue asked.
Zhang Yang replied calmly, “I’m beginning to grow suspicious of the guards arranged by Young Master Liu. I worry that one day they might suddenly turn against me.”
Liu Feijue’s gaze sharpened.
Lou Pingfan, however, felt an ominous sense that the troublemaker was about to dig himself into a deeper hole.
Zhang Yang continued, “How about this? I will personally select seven members of the Golden Armored Giant Clan to serve as my guards.”
Lou Pingfan inwardly cried out, realizing the implication, and quickly opened his mouth to stop him.
Those seven were worth at least one billion spirit stones and could fetch an astonishing price at auction.
Liu Feijue, already furious and feeling his authority being challenged, replied without thinking, “Fine. As long as you can manage them. If you can’t, don’t blame me for not arranging guards for you.”
“Good,” Zhang Yang readily agreed.
Liu Feijue swung his sleeve and left.
Zhang Yang turned to Lou Pingfan.
Lou Pingfan’s mouth twitched, and his eye involuntarily spasmed as he thought, At least one billion spirit stones just went to Zhang Yang?
He strongly suspected that this troublemaker was causing a scene on purpose.
“Old Lou, quickly call someone to clean this up. It’s too bloody and far too inhumane,” Zhang Yang said.
Lou Pingfan cursed inwardly, You’re the one being inhumane. You’re the one who’s bloody. And you’ve already taken so many spirit stones.
Suppressing his anger, he arranged for someone to clean up the mess.
Once everything was tidied up, Zhang Yang said, “Old Lou, let’s go to your place.”
“No need!”
Lou Pingfan instinctively stopped him, firmly stating, “There’s no need for that. I’ll bring them to you myself. No need to trouble your esteemed self.”
Zhang Yang responded with dissatisfaction, “There’s no need for us to be so polite.”
“Polite? I’m not being polite at all. I’ll come myself. If you need anything in the future, just find me. You absolutely do not need to honor me with your presence,” Lou Pingfan insisted.
Acting decisively, Lou Pingfan personally brought the seven members of the Golden Armored Giant Clan over.
Zhang Yang tried to speak with him, but Lou Pingfan quickly made his escape.
“Old Lou, don’t rush off. Have some tea before you leave.”
Lou Pingfan nearly stumbled and muttered angrily, “Your tea costs ten million spirit stones a cup. I can’t afford it.”
Zhang Yang muttered to himself, “Great tea is naturally expensive.”
The seven Golden Armored Giants, who had witnessed the entire scene, remained calm and indifferent as they watched.
Zhang Yang led them into a room.
In the courtyard, there were over ten rooms, some of which had previously been occupied by the Iron Guards.
Yuluan personally employed forbidden laws to seal off the area.
“Yuluan, break their confinement,” Zhang Yang instructed.
“What?”
Yuluan was taken aback.
The seven were astonished; once the confinement was lifted, they would be free to leave.
Among them was an elder, a complete expert at the Small Boundless stage, named Jia Tianhe. He asked, “Aren’t you afraid we’ll leave? Or turn against you?”
Zhang Yang replied, “The people of the Golden Armored Giant Clan are said to have the most backbone and clearly know the difference between gratitude and resentment. I believe you won’t leave, and you certainly won’t turn against me.”
Jia Tianhe declared, “We will never bow to anyone, especially not to the human race.”
As an alien race, the Golden Armored Giant Clan had once been allies of the humans during the era of tribal contention. However, after the humans became dominant, conflicts arose that nearly led to their extermination, creating deep-seated hatred.
Of course, that was long before the Eternal Night—a time far removed from the present.
After enduring the Eternal Night, many of those grievances had faded, but the recent actions of the Great Xia Empire and the Ghostly Divine Platform against them still fueled their hostility toward others.
“Then let’s sit down and have a proper talk,” Zhang Yang said. “Yuluan, release their restraints.”
Though reluctant and on guard, Yuluan understood that while casual matters could be ignored, serious matters required decisive action. She proceeded to fully release their restraints.
Immediately, the seven activated their powers, filling the air with crackling sounds like popping beans as their auras surged, wild and domineering.
One of them immediately suggested, “Let’s leave.”
Another sneered, “The Liu family isn’t much. How can we leave so easily?”
A calmer voice interjected, “Don’t act rashly. Just in this courtyard, I can sense at least four experts at the Great Boundless rank. If they truly set their sights on us, we’ll be in danger.”
Zhang Yang sipped his tea, allowing them to murmur among themselves.
Yuluan remained vigilant.
Jia Tianhe watched quietly for a long moment before asking, “What do you want?”
The other six immediately fell silent.
Zhang Yang raised a finger and said, “I want you to follow me for ten days. If, after ten days, you don’t wish to stay, you are free to leave.”
The seven were taken aback.
“Ten days? Just ten days?” Jia Tianhe asked.
“Just ten days. After that, you can leave at any time,” Zhang Yang confirmed.
Yuluan couldn’t help but gently tug on Zhang Yang’s sleeve.
Zhang Yang continued, “During these ten days, you’ll be free to come and go. I won’t confine you to my side.”
“Aren’t you afraid we’ll take the opportunity to leave?” Jia Tianhe asked.
Zhang Yang smiled and replied, “Then I would have no choice but to label you Golden Armored Giants as timid, lacking spirit and backbone.”
This made Jia Tianhe unhappy. “The Golden Armored Giant Clan fears nothing. Whether facing the Great Xia Empire or the Ghostly Divine Platform, we do not fear. Why would we fear a mere ten days?”
He decisively declared, “Starting today, I will stay by your side, while the others can go out and have some fun.”
Zhang Yang took out a storage bag and said, “Inside this bag are ten million spirit stones. Use them to buy whatever you like.”
Jia Tianhe replied, “Such small favors won’t sway us.”
“Hahaha, if that’s all it took to impress you, I wouldn’t want you to stay,” Zhang Yang responded. “By the way, my name is Zhang Yang. I come from the Vast Forest. You can go inquire about me.”
